There’s a little bit of something for everyone in this weekend’s friendly neighborhood streaming guide, whether you like mysteries or superhero shows, family entertainment or more adult fare.This week in entertainment news, Netflix dropped a first-look at Season 4 of The Witcher with Liam Hemsworth taking over for Henry Cavill as the protagonist, Geralt of Rivia. I am not hopeful that this season will be any better than the last, unfortunately. We’ll know more in October.The Emmys basically confirmed that I have impeccable taste, awarding shows like The Studio, The Pitt, Andor, The Penguin and Severance while snubbing the rather disappointing third season of The White Lotus. Adolescence also won big, reminding me that I never did write anything about that miniseries and really ought to sooner than later. My opinions about the show are . . . complicated.I’ve written a bunch of very critical posts and made some very critical videos about Hulu’s Alien: Earth and one commenter asked if I could recommend some shows that I’ve been enjoying, so I made a video about some of my favorite TV shows of 2025 outside the big, obvious ones like Andor and Severance. Watch that below:MORE FOR YOUI also fan-cast the new James Bond thanks to a stellar performance in my favorite new spy thriller.As I do every week, I have scoured the internet for the best movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney+ and everywhere else. I’ve watched a lot of these but some are still on my backlog and others aren’t quite out just yet. September has been a big month for streaming content, and it’s not over yet. We still have Slow Horses coming out next week, which is very exciting!If you have any tips or I missed something, shoot me a message on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.

ForbesWhat To Watch This Weekend: New Shows And Movies To Stream On Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV And MoreBy New Shows & Movies This WeekendGen V — Season 2 (Prime Video)It’s been a couple years since the first season of The Boys spinoff Gen V came out and I’m remarkably fuzzy on the details as I try to recollect everything. I remember the big story beats, but the character dynamics are a little fuzzy and I’m wondering if this is just the two year hiatus or something more. I used to really like The Boys a lot, and I did enjoy Gen V’s first season, but I think I’m just burning out on this superhero satire. It’s so heavy-handed and on-the-nose and it relies way too much on shock value over storytelling. I’ve only watched the first episode of Gen V season 2 so far (the first three dropped this week) so I’ll have to watch more before I can offer up an opinion. Hamish Linklater is great as the new dean of Godolkin University (aka God U). Hopefully the rest of the season is good and draws me back in.Black Rabbit (Netflix)This crime thriller just landed on Netflix on Thursday and I watched the first episode. The story follows two brothers, Jake (Jude Law) and Vince (Jason Bateman). The former is the owner of a New York City hotspot; the latter is a man on the run from loan sharks, with heaps of personal issues and bad debts hounding him. He brings trouble to Jake’s doorstep and things spiral from there. The first episode had some exciting bits, but I admit I wasn’t reeled in and I’m not sure if I’ll keep watching, despite really liking both Law and Bateman. Curious to hear your thoughts on this one.Superman (HBO Max)I’ve made it pretty clear at this point that I am not a fan of James Gunn’s Superman for a whole host of reasons, but a part of me still wants to give it a second watch now that it’s out on HBO Max. I think it’s definitely worth watching at least once if you have any interest in superhero movies, but it should have been so much better. David Corenswet is an excellent choice for Superman/Clark Kent and we actually now know that the sequel—Man Of Tomorrow—is coming to theaters much sooner than expected.Tulsa King — Season 3 (Paramount+)It’s probably not fair of me to say that Taylor Sheridan has spread himself too thin, simply because I haven’t watched many of his shows, including Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone. But part of the problem is that he’s simply put out way too many seasons of way too many shows to keep up with, and when I try to get into them I keep noticing a lot of Taylor Sheridan quirks that just put me off. I tried to watch Landman but the way the high school-aged daughter was treated mostly as eye candy to be ogled by old men really irked me, and I’m about the furthest thing from a prude when it comes to these things. It was just uncomfortable to watch. So I haven’t started Tulsa King and I haven’t finished Yellowstone. But hey, we still have Wind R
